#2(2012) but still an excellent article.
Edit: And the linked "Show & Tell" video is a great way to get some "intuition" about the sampling theorem. https://video.xiph.org/vid2.shtml

#3While the extra quality is lost on listeners, from experience I've found that super-HQ source material can change your results (for the better) when fed through distortion/compression/warming effects processors

Is that because of the HQ audio, or because the processing software introduces less artifacts at those sample rates/bit depths? I.e. could you get the same results by up-sampling CD quality audio?

> Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space.
The article is highly technical. Does anyone have a way to describe this phenomenon intuitively?

Yeah, this post title should be dated, I definitely read this exact post years ago.
I mean it references Steve Jobs in the present ffs.

#9I've always been able to tell when something on Spotify I've heard before is lower quality now. I can instinctively tell in my car when that's the case. It's mostly due to how loud certain parts of the song are or how it sounds at higher volumes. I guess, given what he says, that wouldn't be the case if made sure they were the same dB.

Thanks! We've updated the headline.
